Abstract
Abstract Background: Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive type of breast cancer. Hormone based treatments are not an effective choice. There are fewer treatment options for this type of breast cancer. Objective: To determine the incidence of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) and analyze the clinical, pathological and radiological features of this type of breast cancer. Methods: Two hundred fifty four patients diagnosed with breast cancer over one year period (January to December 2017) were included in this study. The requested data was extracted from I-SEHA information system database Results: Forty patients out of 254 patients were diagnosed with Triple negative breast cancer with age range from 32-70 years and an average age of 52 years. Most of these patient were female and most of them were Bahraini (34 patient, 85%). Conclusion: Our study shows that majority of breast cancers in Bahrain were Luminal A subtype (48.8%). However, TNBC shows an aggressive behavior that warrants recognition and early diagnosis and therefore early treatment.
